A2 Media Studies-Evaluation Question 4

Questions


4) What have you learned from your audience feedback?
Pardon the error its A2 Music video

Mary (Media teacher) reviewed our work after watching it at the cinema and enjoyed, she gave us positive feedback and had nothing particularly negative to say about the Music video.
I asked her

"What was the most favourite aspect of our video?"

In Mary's words The strong aspects of our video where;

• The crossed cutting between me (Hooded black male)and Masta B (consistant)
• The performer and narrative
• The tempo of the song went up the editing went up
• Really liked the pace
• Liked the jump cuts Brilliant sense of camera movement
• Massive sense of style
• Loved the colour
• The perspective, the location shots at the barbican
• The strong lighting in the dark

I interviewed Jourdaine after the viewing of our A2 music videos. 

I asked her:

"What section of our music video did you particularly like the most"

These where her answers;

• Liked the narrative
• The ending was very good

After watching my music video I stopped jessica and asked her for opinion on our music video this is all the positive feedback she gave;

• The beginning
• The ending
• The beginning worked well with promoting the artist
• Masta B (Bens) Lip syncing  was really good
• The ending emphasised the paranoia 
• The mystery of the ending not knowing what happened to me (The hooded male)
• The cross cutting between me and the artist

I interviewed Lorenzo after viewing my A2 media Music video and these are the highlights of his comments

Out if the scenes which ones did you find the most effective or impressive?

• The editing when the tension was built up

How could/would you change your product in relation to this feedback?

I could improve several aspects of the music video some suggestions where

1. Add additional base tracks
2. More locations
3. Clarify the Narrative
4. Show who was chasing me
5. More scenery shots

This is the Video (Below) of the reaction that the my media peers in my year showed when watching my A2 Media Music video production.

My group got a loud applause from the audience before my video began, Im hoping that this was from the framing of the camera of me walking, in addition with just thorough support.

I got a loud applause at the end of my music video as you can see, i think this was particularly due to the fact that as the second verse began the intensity of the Music video increased. The variety of editing increased, the amount of shots, the match cuts, cross cuts from me (paranoid black male) and Masta B increased and the style of the video; in terms of night settings and mise en scene stayed consistant.

My comments on the feedback

1. I really appreciate the feedback given by various students on a whole they where very much positive, especially hearing the spectacular response from Mary a media teacher about our video. I appreciate the comments about our editing, me and Ben focused on this aspect the most as it was important in our piece to try and perfect it. We where trying to display paranoia and fear so quick paced editing was necessary. The jump cuts from the performer and narrator was noticed from most of those interview i believe this was kept consistant throughout the music vid  and worked well in displaying a story.
2. Jessica and Lorenzo shared contradictory statements about whether we should have showed the subject who was chasing the narrative performer (me), this was the view from Jessica and some others. However Lorenzo felt the fact this wasn't displayed added to the mystery and tension throughout the music piece as it kept the audience questioning until the very end.
